Have you ever tried to wear a pedometer in Paris? How many miles a day do you walk? I enjoy immensely following you around, that still life, so clever, whisking out your own little silver tray for those pretty macarons and the reflections are gorgeous!

The bride in the Metro could have been me, only it was years ago and in DC!

Once again, I feel as if I am there with you, running through the streets. But, hélas, I am not... So, I may just have to console myself by attempting, once again, to make macarons. Amuse-toi bien, Carol!

Loved seeing the flower shop on l'Isle St-Louis where I always buy my mimosa flowers--dying to get the new series of Laduree boxes--was just in Genoa, Italy and Belfast, Northern Ireland--how is that for a combination! changing planes in Paris and in the wrong part of terminal E to get to the new Laduree shop! the Horror!--got some Dalloyau macaroons--the bergamont ones were good. I was performing and exhibiting in both cities--and now have a terrible cold traveling from sunny genoa to cold and raining Belfast. Always enjoy your travels. LuLu LoLo

i am wondering if MICHAEL WIERINGO's work was included in the comic book exhibit? i'd love to tell his dad (my 1st cousin) if he was. Don't go back to check, etc., just check your brochure if you still have it.

i usually stay in the WELCOME HOTEL (rue de seine) -- so it's wonderful to "walk" down the street with you! i had no idea there was a cafe de flore shop.love the rooftops exhibit and sonia's ladies! did you make a purchaseRebecca D.

AHHHHHHH!!!!! La vie est belle! The B.D. exhibit.....you are very convincing. I do generally love french B.D. art. And I was totally going for that silver tray (in my mind to go with my macarons colored kiddie tea set from IKEA!!!!) but then you showed that grown up macaron colored teacup. OK THEN. It was all over!!!!

PS- If you have a uPhone, download Runkeeper - it's about $2.00 and uses GPS to track where you've been (it can even show your route!) and how far, how fast, even where you've climbed up and down hills! M. Ozzie and I never leave home without it. Although, I sometimes forget to turn it on! :-(

I also love to see how food appears in other parts of the world. How it is grown, and how the harvested food eventually get displayed in urban markets. How different cultures go about meeting our daily requirements.

That is a day to beat all days!I think I should like my portrait with my Bichon painted in front of La Charlotte de l'Isle. First, I must see it in person !!!

And today ... I wore all white.

Your blog inspires.

This post - oh, my - if it were mine, I'd leave it up all the time. I mean, it's just a perfect day, a perfect post. I'd like to relive it again with you. Well, good thing it is here, in cyberspace forever now.

Incroyable! I was just looking through my sketchbook of "Diary of a Rose Lover" and looked up FabriceMoireau on the Internet only to discover your blog(which I am already a fan of) mentioning that youwere visiting the exhibition of his sketches! Lucky girl!

The Chunnel!I forgot to report!!it goes like a flash, especially if you are sitting next to someone fun to talk to (1st trip to London).Nothing particularly daunting about it IMO.Typing on a Fr keyboard is way more taxing!!

I love Diary of a Rose Lover!!!very easy to fine the exclamation marks on fr keyboard!!!

Jeqnette...I wish I had an iPhonz=I would def do that///trqck myself///something to plan 4 the future bien sur!!!mercicarolg

Paris Letters

l'Ile Saint Louis, Paris, Ile de France, France

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris breakfasts.
